Press quenching is used to control distortion when hardening gears, bearing races and similar parts where free quenching would produce excessive distortion. With the proper tooling both flatness and roundness can be controlled to within 0.005in. or less. While many jobs can be run successfully using existing tooling, some parts require unique tooling. CST can design this if needed.

CST has two Gleason presses. The largest is capable of handling parts up to 24 in. diameter.
